Reevaluate the last several months, Swifties: the 25-year-old is like a flaxen-haired Svengali. Not only does she have the music industry in the palm of her hand, but she's converted both legions of brand new fans and enough famous BFFs to overcrowd a music video. And aside from exuding overall fabulousness, showcasing overwhelming kindness, and being overtly feminist, what is her secret to being that persuasive. Well... that I don't know.

But what is certain is that Swift can be very, very, convincing. To recap, here are a few times Swift converted you into thinking something was a good idea.

1. The time she convinced you to rock a lob, even though your bone structure is ALL WRONG for that cut.

2. The time she convinced you that her awful dancing was endearing, nay, worth emulating.

It used to be that we'd see Swift dancing at award shows and we'd be like, "Oh dear, it's like what would happen if white bread tried to move." But, ever since the "Shake It Off" video, everyone's doing some seizure-y variant on "the twist" that feels VERY Swiftian.

3. The time that she convinced you that country music is worth a shot.

4. The time she convinced you to adopt more kitties than you could handle.

You fell in love with Meredith and Olivia and wanted your own furry friends to fill the void that comes with being perpetually single. You're now 28 years old and living in a studio apartment with seven cats. So...

5. The time she convinced you that red lipstick was a worthwhile investment, despite your impressive lack of make-up skills.
